Re: next mod

I just did royal purple fluids, engine, tranny, and rear.....made a noticable difference for not much money. Also your an auto so i would get a shift kit if you don't already have one.

Re: next mod

Electric water pump.....underdrive pullys if u want will help.....past that judging by what you have your looking at getting into the motor soon. You could do some suspension parts but for the money the weight loss won't gain you much.

Re: next mod

Look at this list of dyno tests. For example, is an underdrive pulley the gives you 0.7 peak HP (yes, more on average) worth having problems with battery charging, particularly with the stock 550 RPM idle speed for the A4 in gear? Or a throttle body air foil that often interferes with the idle air control system, and gives 2.4 peak HP what you want?

This info is 20 years old. We all bought into these low HP mods back then, only to find they were not worth the possible down side. But look at the actual data, and then decide.

Re: next mod

Going with Yank or vigilante would be the best choice for converter. I have a 3200 vigilante in my car i wish i had gone up higher.

Than get some sticky tires like drag radials
